   Is it possible to drop a 2Litre 16v 306Gti engine into my little Saxo Furio.
   And I'm aware that you'd need to reinforce the chassis.. But.... This is something I'd do if I had the money and knowledge.
   Can it be done?

   Engine would also weigh alot more.
   
   You'd be getting a bigger engine but a heavier car.

   Please have a search and you will find numerous threads on this subject. You will then find that it's not as easy as you think and unless you have plenty of time and money then its not going to happen.
